Articles at techpowerup and tweaktown pretty much confirm new launch date as I surmised, the leaked reviews that are out are also all done at stock clocks , adds a little fuel to the supposition standard OC tools aren't working with the new bridge chip on the cards as well as they do with traditional crossfire boards.... Not that having no tools is a deal breaker, I mean even a couple years ago there was no OC tools for just released cards.

Some supposition is that based on feedback they are taking the extra time to fill the pipe with product to meet the huge demand.... beats me - I'm not going to get one right away anyhow.
